What they say

Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The 18th-century manor is as elegant as they come, as befits a house that’s a former Earl’s residence.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Across five hundred acres of private parkland on the River Nore, just outside Thomastown.
